About Us

Commercial Marine was built by people who understand the sea. We’re anglers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts who saw a need for a specialist marine supplier that truly serves the Eastern Cape fishing community — and decided to build one.

Eastern Cape's Marine Specialists

Commercial Marine is an Eastern Cape-based marine and fishing supply business with three branches – in Jeffreys Bay, St Francis Bay, and Port Elizabeth. We serve the full spectrum of the marine community: from commercial fishing operators running working vessels out of PE Harbour and Port St Francis, to recreational anglers casting off the rocks at Cape St Francis, to families gearing up for a weekend on the water.

What makes us different is simple – we know this coastline, we know these fishing grounds, and we stock what actually works here. Our team lives and fishes the Eastern Cape, which means the advice you get in our stores comes from real, local experience on the water.

As direct importers of premium marine-grade stainless steel accessories, we also serve the boat building, marine construction and coastal property sectors across the Eastern Cape – offering competitive pricing that comes from cutting out the middleman.

Eastern Cape's Marine Specialists

There are plenty of places to buy fishing gear. What you won’t find everywhere is a team with genuine local knowledge, specialist stock, and three convenient Eastern Cape locations – all under one trusted brand.

  • Our Community

Part of the Eastern Cape Fishing Community

The Eastern Cape is one of South Africa’s most remarkable fishing destinations. From the world-famous Chokka squid grounds off  St. Francis to the rich offshore reefs of Algoa Bay, and the legendary estuary fishing of the Kromme River in St Francis – this coastline produces some of the country’s best fishing, and we’re proud to be part of that story. 

Commercial Marine isn’t just a business that operates in this community – we’re part of it. Our staff live here, fish here, and care about the health and future of the Eastern Cape’s marine environment. We support responsible, sustainable fishing practices and are committed to serving this community for years to come.

From the commercial skipper heading out before dawn to the family packing the cooler box for a weekend beach trip – every customer who walks through our doors matters to us. That’s the Commercial Marine way.
